The reason that this occurs is that tail calling objc_autorelease eventually
tail calls -[NSObject autorelease] which supports fast autorelease. This can
cause us to violate the semantic gaurantees of __autoreleasing variables that
assignment to an __autoreleasing variables always yields an object that is
placed into the innermost autorelease pool.
The fix included in this patch works by:
1. In the peephole optimization function OptimizeIndividualFunctions, always
remove tail call from objc_autorelease.
2. Whenever we convert to/from an objc_autorelease, set/unset the tail call
keyword as appropriate.
*NOTE* I also handled the case where objc_autorelease is converted in
OptimizeReturns to an autoreleaseRV which still violates the ARC semantics. I
will be removing that in a later patch and I wanted to make sure that the tree
is in a consistent state vis-a-vis ARC always.
Additionally some test cases are provided and all tests that have tail call marked
objc_autorelease keywords have been modified so that tail call has been removed.
*NOTE* One test fails due to a separate bug that I am going to commit soon. Thus
I marked the check line TMP: instead of CHECK: so make check does not fail.

pointers-to-strong-pointers may be in play. These can lead to retains and
releases happening in unstructured ways, foiling the optimizer. This fixes

I really need to find a way to automate this, but I can't come up with a regex
that has no false positives while handling tricky cases like custom check
prefixes.

traversal, consider nodes for which the only successors are backedges
which the traversal is ignoring to be exit nodes. This fixes a problem
where the bottom-up traversal was failing to visit split blocks along
split loop backedges. This fixes rdar://10989035.

the optimizer doesn't eliminate objc_retainBlock calls which are needed
for their side effect of copying blocks onto the heap.
This implements rdar://10361249.
